Necrot – Mortal [Things You Might Have Missed 2020]

By Ferrous Beuller on December 14, 2020 in Things You Might Have Missed 2020, Death Metal, 66 comments

“People are never satisfied. They are saturated with options, and with choice comes entitlement. Corpulent technicality and aimless dissonance have somehow convinced people that songwriting isn’t necessary. Fucking die. Whatever happened to the basics? But not just the basics, the fucking basics. Evolution is key, but nothing can replace those original elements that, when correctly combined, elicit such a chemical crush. Oakland’s Necrot have been descanting the insalubrious since 2012 and boast members of Mortuous, Vastum and Acephalix“. Death be simple.

Vastum – Orificial Purge Review

By Holdeneye on October 22, 2019 in 20 Buck Spin, 2019, American Metal, Death Metal, Reviews, Death Metal, 14 comments

“Hole Below used some atmospheric elements and varied tempos to craft a terrifying experience that never once let up, and while Vastum 2019 incorporates bits and pieces of those elements, Orificial Purge settles mostly into mid-paced death metal territory. Combine the lumbering sections of Incantation mixed with Bolt Thrower heft, and you can imagine what 90% of this record sounds like.” Another day at the orifice.

Acephalix – Decreation Review

By Diabolus in Muzaka on September 27, 2017 in 20 Buck Spin, 2017, American Metal, Death Metal, Reviews, Death Metal, 58 comments

“Being a crusty Swe-death record, Decreation draws heavily on Entombed, Dismember, Nihilist, Grave, and the like, with the modern touch of Black Breath and their ilk. There’s little else to say…” Shortest. Review. Ever.
